AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Acrylic on canvas.

Master Aldo Gentilini.

In good condition.

Signed on the front in the lower left, while on the back there is the authentication made directly by the artist.

Canvas dimensions 30 x 40 cm.

Particular as with all his works and unusual given its small size, this work by Master Aldo Gentilini is part of a private collection.
It is certainly an interesting piece for those who have a small space to furnish and enliven with taste, in Abstract style, and it comes with its original frame which is in good condition, but without the glass, which can be re-fitted if desired.

The images shown are an integral part of the description.

It will be carefully packaged and shipped with express courier and tracking.

Aldo Gentilini was born in Genoa in 1911; from a young age he felt a strong religious vocation that led him to enter the cloistered monastery of Pietrasanta, where he stayed for three years, pursuing philosophical studies, before dedicating himself as a self-taught artist whose work would lead him to exhibit in numerous shows in Italy and abroad.

A man of faith, he believes that only through art can the divine be reached. And this thought will underpin all his work: "I try to make emptiness — Gentilini declared — This emptiness provokes a certain catharsis in me: I observe sensitive values that I respect, reevaluate them, but I never know how I will fall into the painting, and this is the realization of a truth toward the sign never thought".

He was an artist who practiced asceticism, to imitate the Saint to whom he was devoted. The two natures, the human and the aesthetic, coincide perfectly.
